Product details
Overview
DFLT9V0A-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in PowerDI123 package, designed for primary overvoltage protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features 9.0 V reverse standoff voltage, 10.0–11.1 V breakdown range at 1.0 mA test current, 5.0 µA max reverse leakage at VRWM, 15.4 V clamping voltage at 14.6 A peak pulse current, and 225 W peak pulse power dissipation (10/1000 µs waveform), deployed in automotive body control modules to protect CAN transceivers from ISO 7637-2 load dump transients.
For engineers reviewing the DFLT9V0A-7 datasheet, DFLT9V0A-7 pinout, DFLT9V0A-7 application, or DFLT9V0A-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated PowerDI123 terminal mapping, real-world clamping performance under IEC 61000-4-5 surge conditions, and direct-fit alternatives for ESD and surge co-design in 12 V automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-anode polarity, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds VRWM = 9.0 V and fully clamps within nanoseconds upon reaching VBR (min 10.0 V). Its low RθJS = 6 °C/W enables effective thermal coupling to PCB copper, supporting sustained surge handling without thermal runaway.
The device complies with AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements (as part of the DFLTxxxQ automotive series), exhibits <10 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias (per typical DFLT9V0A curve), and maintains stable clamping across -65 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range-critical for engine bay and ADAS sensor interface protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 9.0 V - Maximum continuous DC voltage before significant leakage; sets threshold for 12 V rail protection. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 10.0–11.1 V @ 1.0 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering before downstream IC damage. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 15.4 V @ 14.6 A - Measured peak voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits stress on protected 16 V tolerant receivers. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPK) | 225 W (10/1000 µs) - Sustains single high-energy transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without failure. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJS) | 6 °C/W - Low junction-to-solder-point resistance enables efficient heat transfer to 2 oz copper pad. |
| Operating Temperature | -65 °C to +150 °C - Validated performance across full automotive under-hood ambient range. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI123 - surface-mount, single-ended, cathode-banded plastic package with exposed cathode tab for thermal and electrical connection. Dimensions: 1.78 mm × 3.70 mm × 1.00 mm (L×W×H); weight ≈ 0.01 g; UL 94V-0 rated molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to protected line (e.g., CAN_H); carries surge current into device during clamping. |
| Cathode (Tab / Lead 2) | Current exit point and thermal path | Mounted directly to PCB copper pour; serves as primary heat sink and return path to ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 225 W peak pulse rating (10/1000 µs) | Enables robust protection against ISO 7637-2 load dump and jump-start surges without derating at +85 °C. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VRWM = 1.71) | Minimizes overvoltage margin between protection threshold and clamp level-critical for 16 V-tolerant PHY interfaces. |
| RoHS-compliant, halogen-free "Green" construction | Meets automotive ELV Directive and JIG-101A material restrictions; supports PPAP documentation for Tier 1 suppliers. |
| PowerDI123 package with exposed cathode tab | Provides 3× lower thermal resistance vs. SOD-123; allows ≥50% higher surge duty cycle in space-constrained ECUs. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Infotainment Head Unit Power Input |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ9.0A | Same VRWM (9.0 V) and VC (15.4 V), but SMA package (RθJA = 140 °C/W vs. 6 °C/W); 400 W PPK rating. | Larger footprint (4.5 × 2.7 mm) and higher thermal resistance limit use in thermally dense EPS modules. | Select when legacy SMA layout exists and thermal budget permits; avoid where PCB copper area is constrained. |
| DFLT9V0AQ-7 | AEC-Q101 qualified variant with full PPAP support, identical electrical specs, same PowerDI123 package. | Required for production automotive programs needing certified change control and IATF 16949 traceability. | Specify for Tier 1 OEM designs; DFLT9V0A-7 remains valid for prototyping and non-automotive industrial use. |
Compared with SMAJ9.0A, DFLT9V0A-7 offers 23× lower junction-to-sink thermal resistance for higher surge repetition rates; versus DFLT9V0AQ-7, it lacks AEC-Q101 certification but matches all electrical and mechanical specs-making it ideal for cost-sensitive pre-qualification stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of DFLT9V0A-7 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) is 15.4 V when subjected to a 14.6 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform, measured per JEDEC standards. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (-65 °C to +150 °C) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Can DFLT9V0A-7 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-DFLT9V0A-7 is a unidirectional TVS diode with anode-cathode polarity marked by a cathode band. It conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential data), two devices must be connected in series opposing configuration, or a dedicated bidirectional part like DFLU9V0A-7 must be selected.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for thermal performance?
Diodes recommends a minimum 1-inch² (25 mm²) 2 oz copper pad connected directly to the cathode tab, with thermal vias (≥6 × 0.3 mm diameter) spaced ≤2 mm apart beneath the pad. This achieves the specified RθJS = 6 °C/W and prevents localized solder joint overheating during repeated 225 W surges.
Does DFLT9V0A-7 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
DFLT9V0A-7 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart DFLT9V0AQ-7 is fully qualified per AEC-Q101 Rev D, manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities, and supported with PPAP documentation. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical-only the qualification status and traceability differ.
